What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 for 234 sqm, the ask is just €338/sqm, but with no clear condition stated I assume moderate works at about €350/sqm, bringing the effective cost to roughly €688/sqm. The local baseline is weak and low-confidence; against that limited reference this does not look exceptional, though the large independent house with garage, cellar and garden keeps it reasonable.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, substantial country house rather than a shell: it has bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, garage and plenty of outbuildings, so it looks basically usable. The best charm is inside in the attic beams, brick floors and old patterned tiles, plus a bit of garden/orchard space outside. Visually it is more plain farmhouse than dream-property stunner, and it will need meaningful updating to feel comfortable and beautiful.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
Our read of the photos, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€27,000 – €46,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Interiors are very dated and need broad cosmetic renovation.
- Some visible cracking, damp staining and worn finishes need checking.
- Flat rural setting is usable but not a dramatic view/location.
- Large ancillary spaces may need repair or rationalisation.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 33/100This is the central Po plain around the Secchia valley, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and scattered industrial and service buildings. The Secchia river runs a few kilometres west of San Possidonio, and the area is part of the low plain shaped by reclamation and intensive farming. Mirandola is the nearest town of size, with hospitals, secondary schools, shops and the usual services of a district centre. The area is known for agriculture and for the biomedical industry around Mirandola.
